Why "Which Watch Should I Buy?" Is the Wrong First QuestionPrescriptive first-watch advice is structurally flawed. It treats the purchase as a product recommendation problem when it's actually a personal logic question. The advice-giver fills the space where your own reasoning should go.The result is a category of buyer who purchases a Submariner because everyone said to, wears it twice, and quietly realizes it's too thick under a dress shirt, or too loud for the context where they spend most of their time. The watch is fine. The decision was wrong.
